Already did both of those. :)
Runs fine with the previous kernel, no 1366 resolution with the new kernel.
dkms is standard in my world!
Same here, no problem with today's, or any other day's, kernel update. Everything running peachy keen :)

I got the new kernel upgrade and had a little issue. I run two VMs on a Toshiba laptop, one with Ubu 12.04 and one with Mint 13 MATE. On the Ubuntu VM when I rebooted after the kernel update, the...
I just got it a few minutes ago on my daily update. Runs very nice, everything smooth and snappy.
This is how my old Abit motherboard is configured.
I run a single-core Athlon 64 with 3 GB dual-channel RAM and use the 64-bit OS. For such an old machines, it'll run anything I put on it...
Also, make sure the Virtualbox Guest Additions are installed in your Ubuntu guest, and the Virtualbox Extension Pack is installed in your VB installation in Win7.
Your user in the Ubuntu guest OS must be in the vboxsf group.
From a terminal, type:
sudo adduser xxxxxxx vboxsf
where xxxxxx is your user account name. Log out and log back in to Ubuntu.
Most often, references to "Virtual Box" are aimed at the software made available by Oracle, https://www.virtualbox.org/
It allows you create a complete virtual PC that you can install an OS and...

It's the only way to fly!
That's what I said.
My experience is with apt-get and not aptitude, but apt-get acts like you were describing. It asks for confirmation for anything, except when you install a single package that doesn't require any...
I've never had a problem reading or writing to NTFS partitions. No obvious CPU usage either. I have two disks in my computer, one for Linux and one for Windows. I regularly access the Windows disk...
I thought that machine would run MATE just fine :)
ventrical, what are you installing that's giving you the GNOME System Monitor? Here's what mine looks like.
One step at a time... :)
Yeah, make sure your physical base is literally good and solid. I think that machine will run MATE with no problem.
Were you able to save it, ventrical?
Yup, that'll work, too. Like I said, I like as minimal an install as possible so I only add the DE I want right from the beginning. Plus, I like to try and keep a DE as true to its roots as I can. My...
To avoid making the previous post too long, here's some of the configuration changes I make after logging in. These are things I think every MATE user should do to make this DE more usable.

No problem, here's the command codes ( ;) ) I used (from my failing memory):
1) Modify sources.list, I'll let you use your favorite method. Added:

I would go ahead and swap the 2nd HDD and the optical drive. That puts your two HDDs on independent controllers. Your assumption about copying files from one drive to the other is backwards. If...
I'd like to see what you could get running on that Celeron machine. I love reviving old computers!
The 32-bit version is: crossover_11.3.1-1_i386.deb
The 64-bit version is: ia32-crossover_11.3.1-1_amd64.deb
I don't have the md5sums available, sorry.

They've done a good job forking the old GNOME code. There's still a few glitches, but I've been using MATE for a while and I have a few configuration tweaks that make it 99% like GNOME 2.
